Almost 2 Million Hearts Breaking

That’s the number of new cancer cases predicted by the American Cancer Society in 2022
(excluding basal cell and squamous cell skin cancers and in situ carcinomas except urinary bladder). So says the 80 page report just released. Approximately 609,360 deaths from cancer are expected in the US in 2022 (about 1,670 deaths per day). Cancer is the second most common cause of death in the US, exceeded only by heart disease.
‘Almost 1 in 5 cancers is caused by excess body weight, alcohol consumption, poor diet, and physical inactivity. Many Americans encounter substantial barriers to consuming a healthy diet and engaging in regular physical activity. To facilitate healthier lifestyles and curtail the future cancer burden, policy and environmental interventions across national, state, and local levels are needed. Efforts should include creative new strategies that are culturally appropriate and equitable to increase access to affordable, nutritious foods (e.g., healthy checkout aisles) and safe, enjoyable opportunities for physical activity (e.g., quality school physical education programs)’

A little tipple (!) whilst we enjoyed (?) the World Cup on Saturday evening. Our youngest bought these Té Tonics as a birthday gift a few months ago. It was time. NOT the match we were hoping for (although it was definitely gripping). But these little beauties did not disappoint: ‘100% natural ingredients. No additives, preservatives or artificial colouring added. GMO free. Both the cases, the cardboard cubes and the PS cubes are 100% recyclable.’ Red Passion was the order of the day on Saturday: apple, red berries, petals and selected flowers. Now, which one for the next match?
